Sword Emperor

All of a sudden, Lang Xuan's familiar voice echoed in his ears.    

Looking at the source of the voice, Sun Bing's eyes were filled with surprise, because under the broken chessboard, a bright light pillar gradually appeared, and then an ancient book appeared.    

Even though they were very far away, Sun Bing could still sense the ancient history contained within. It was obvious that this book was extraordinary.    

Sun Bing immediately walked towards the light pillar without hesitation. However, at the same time, a blurry figure suddenly emerged from the light pillar. Both of them stopped what they were doing at the same time and looked ahead with fear in their eyes.    

In an instant, the image of an old man with white hair and a youthful face appeared in front of the two of them. However, under the vivid face, his eyes seemed especially hollow.    

It was obvious that this was merely a trump card left behind by the other party. It had no intelligence at all. This caused the vigilance in Sun Bing and Lang Xuan's hearts to gradually dissipate a little.    

After that, the aged voice was heard, "I am Old Ancestor Qian Kun. The awakened Martial Soul is the Heaven and Earth Chessboard. I spent 890,000 years studying the Dao of Formation and eventually reached the thirty-third level of the Dao Realm. I might even be able to peek into the thirty-six levels above the peak.    

Helplessly, the Great Destruction had descended. Even the Holy Ark of Salvation was unable to withstand such a tribulation. Waah! Waah! The current situation was extremely bad, and I had no choice but to resist the great tribulation.    

Although my strength is lacking, no one in the field of formation can surpass me. I was afraid that I would never be able to return from this trip, so I specially integrated all my knowledge and left behind this Universe Ancient Confucian Classics.    

If there is a descendant who can pass the test, he can naturally be considered my in-name disciple. I hope that you can take my life's enlightenment seriously and never let my reputation be tarnished."    

As soon as he finished speaking, that incomparably aged illusory figure had completely completed his mission. Suddenly, it dissipated, and the light pillar also gradually collapsed along with it.    

Following it, the mysterious ancient book suddenly appeared in their line of sight. It floated in the air quietly, emitting a different ancient aura.    

On the cover of the book were engraved four extremely profound words. It was the 'Universe Ancient Confucian Classics' that was mentioned by Old Ancestor Qian Kun earlier. Just these four words seemed to contain countless profundities, like a black hole that devoured one's mind.    

For a moment, Sun Bing and Lang Xuan's faces were filled with excitement, because this could be considered a pleasant surprise.    

Especially Lang Xuan, who couldn't help but feel excited. He said, "This is really something worth celebrating. I think Brother Sun's strength will surely rise to another level after he obtains this item."    

His words were filled with blessings, and his eyes were incomparably clear. Even when facing such a supreme treasure, he didn't feel the slightest bit of excitement. He could only feel happy for Sun Bing's lucky encounter.    

At this moment, Sun Bing was really excited. After all, the two of them only wanted to break this test immediately and chase after Xu Yunkun. They never expected that they would encounter such a lucky encounter by chance.    

However, after a brief moment of surprise, Sun Bing's eyes were filled with understanding. After all, that Old Ancestor Qian Kun was an array master, an expert who had already deduced the Dao of Formation to the thirty-third level of Dao Realm in one go.    

One should know that this was comparable to a Monarch Stage expert in Infinity Realm Sea. Such a cultivator could be considered as one of the top in any era.    

It could be said that with a wave of his arm, countless geniuses would want to become his disciple. The requirement for his successor was very high. It was because of the Great Destruction that the Old Master Qian had made such an arrangement.    

Otherwise, if he were to break this chess game at ordinary times, he would be able to obtain this ancient scripture. In that case, countless geniuses from the Third Era would surely flock to this place.    

However, even after thousands of years had passed, old Ancestor Qian Kun was still extremely cautious when selecting his successor. No matter how outstanding an ordinary cultivator's talent was, as long as they weren't proficient in formations, they wouldn't be able to obtain such an inheritance.    

That was why there was such a test. If they couldn't even reach the level of this bell, Sun Bing even suspected that even if the Qian Kun Ancestor wanted his inheritance to be cut off, he wouldn't rather have it.    

Xu Yunkun might be a step faster than them, but in the face of such a test, he had to use his innate ability to avoid it. How could he possibly discover the secret behind it?    

Because of this, this great opportunity was directly obtained by Sun Bing. Even after such a long period of time, the pleasant expression on Sun Bing's face still didn't disappear.    

All along, Sun Bing had always been a rogue cultivators, and he had obtained the sword formation through the auction. This was the reason why he was so unconventional. He had only reached this level by relying on his extraordinary comprehension ability.    

However, with the advancement of his cultivation base, it became increasingly difficult for Sun Bing to improve as well. Even though his talent was astonishing, it would still take a long time for him to break through.    

However, this time, he had obtained the legacy of a true Monarch Stage expert, especially the inheritance of formation. To Sun Bing, it wasn't easy to provide timely assistance.    

After a long time, Sun Bing finally regained his calm. However, if one were to observe carefully, one could still see the faint smile on his face.    

After that, Sun Bing stretched out his hand and grabbed the ancient book in the light pillar. After examining it carefully, a trace of surprise appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but speak in a soft voice. "Eh?"    

"What's wrong, brother Sun? Could it be that something has happened?"    

For a moment, Lang Xuan couldn't help but ask with concern, afraid that something unexpected would happen.    

However, Sun Bing's expression was incomparably strange. He raised his head and glanced at Lang Xuan, then pointed at the ancient book in his hand and sighed. "Take a look for yourself."    

Following the direction Sun Bing pointed at, Lang Xuan's face was filled with astonishment. In the end, both of them revealed a bitter smile at the same time.    

Because there was a very inconspicuous note at the back of the Universe Ancient Confucian Classics: The first volume.    

Obviously, just this ancient scripture in front of them... It was far from the inheritance of Patriarch Qiankun.    

However, if he didn't know about this matter, it wouldn't be a big deal. Since the first volume was already in Sun Bing's hands, he was determined to get the rest of the Universe Ancient Confucian Classics.    

After all, this was the inheritance of a Monarch Stage warrior. Even in the vast Infinity Realm Sea, there were only a hundred of them. It was imaginable how precious this inheritance was. No matter what kind of price he had to pay, he wouldn't hesitate to get it.
